Special Vehicles in Kansas

There are separate registration rules for trailers, ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and custom built or salvaged vehicles. Registration in these cases can get complex, so we've broken down each process.

ATVs and Snowmobiles

The Kansas Treasury Department does not require the registration and titling of snowmobiles, car trailers, or ATV's, as they do with other motor vehicles.

But some counties require local registration for ATVs and snowmobiles, so check with your local police station. You may even be required to present the ATV in person for a photograph and local registration paperwork completion.

Trailers

Trailers are exempt from registration as long as the combined weight of the trailer and the load being carried does not exceed 2,000 pounds. Farm trailers are also exempt, provided the load being carried on the trailer does not exceed 6,000 pounds.

Custom or Salvage Car Registrations

There's one main rule when you are customizing, redesigning, or building a kit car, and that is keep each and every paper you ever receive regarding the vehicle you are building, repairing, restoring or customizing. The entire process for registering custom cars, salvaged vehicles or any other specialized motor vehicle in which the body and any of the main components were not built together at the factory, or whose Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) do not match, will revolve around this paperwork. It's also helpful to take photographs of your work in progress.
